Suggests immunosuppression and BP control may manage vasculitis in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; hypothesis-generating from single case, needs confirmation.
Case Report (n=1)
Systemic vasculitis and aneurysm formation are rare but life-threatening complications of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome that can be successfully managed with immunosuppression and blood pressure control.
McCluggage et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome with systemic vasculitis and aneurysm formation (n=1). Steroids, immunosuppressive treatment, blood pressure control, and right nephrectomy was evaluated on Resolution of vasculitic process and prevention of further haemorrhage. Steroids, immunosuppressive treatment, and blood pressure control resolved necrotising vasculitis and prevented further haemorrhage in a 24-year-old male with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
